My 2 DVD players were both bought before progressive scan so I have always wondered what I am missing. Last night a buddy of mine brought over his cheapo phillips progressive scan DVD player.
I played parts of gladiator on my sony 860 megachanger and on his player and 3 of us did not see any difference.
I used the same component cables on both and used my Wega 32xbr450 HD ready set that I just calibrated using Avia set up disc.
I know my 860 is not top of the line but it was a decent player when it came out. His player is the cheapest progressive scan philips makes (he got it for under a $100)
So with that in mind should I have noticed a difference? If so, any clues on why I didn't?Would a better quality set really shine through.
Anyone have a good disc or type of scene that would really show the difference?
Anyways that cured my upgraditis for a little while
Thanks Much

BTW I watch HD all the time on the set and it looks incredible so I dont think I have a problem there.....
